Tariff zone
Tariff zones are sub-zones of areas that are served by public transport companies using public transport. They are used to determine a reasonable fare. The more tariff zones you pass through, the higher the fare. As a rule, it increases by a so-called price level with each additional zone traveled . Often not all zones are counted on longer stretches, here there is a cap from a certain number of zones traveled through.
The units referred to as tariff zones, also known as zone, tariff area, tariff honeycomb, honeycomb, tariff ring, ring or - in the Vorarlberg transport association - dominoes , are usually based on the distance and / or municipality boundaries. Ring-shaped tariff zones are particularly found when most of the travel connections with the center exist or run radially, for example in the Munich transport and tariff association . The associated tariff zone plans are also referred to as tariff spider in this case .
In Germany, tariff zones are set in most transport associations. Only the Verkehrsverbund Süd-Niedersachsen operates with a relative tariff as an alternative, while some other associations use a partial-distance or kilometer tariff .
